This work seeks to answer how the (re) meaning of concepts and terms related to science occurs in the language of animation, with the aim of show what symbolic elements the cartoons use to represent the scientific concepts of the biological sciences. To this end, a qualitative research was developed in which the semiotic analysis of cartoons was performed, such as "Earth to Luna", "Wild Kratts" and "Nature Cat", anchored in the Peirce theory. It is conjecture that the relevance of this study stems from the possibility of understanding the semiotic process that occurs between the analyzed signs (cartoons and academic material). It is considered the possibility of using cartoons with scientific themes as a non-formal resource for the popularization of the sciences, which, when receiving a critical look, can be used as a pedagogical tool. According to the results, it was perceived that the analyzed episodes can be considered as a resource that presents specific aspects of science, in a simple and clear way. It was observed as a transposition of the scientific language for the entertainment, the use and the presence of some symbol’s characteristic of biology in all episodes. In addition, it was found that the characteristic elements of the animation (sound, music, repetition and image transition, zoom-in and zoom-out) are used both to mark the stages of scientific work (elaboration of the problem, survey of hypothesis, tests and experiments, possible explanation/solution of the problem, conclusion and disclosure of the conclusions), and the presentation of concepts and phenomena of biology. In general, the concepts of biology approached in these episodes are in line with the comparative academic material. |
